About: Hello! Please review availability before booking - Thank you! Availability: Monday and Friday: 7am - 8pm (please reach out if you need anything earlier or later and I will do my best to accommodate.) Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: After 5:30 (I travel from Danbury, CT, depends on location :) !) Saturday and Sunday: Usually available early mornings and evenings - I work part time near by marked location, please reach out to discuss ! Feel free to message me with any questions or to check my availability for house sitting! 😊 I've been a devoted dog owner and caregiver since 2015, and I currently have a 1.5-year-old cat who I've raised since she was a kitten — so I’m confident caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. As the oldest in a big family of eight, I’ve always been the go to person for care, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’ve also house sat for long term clients who trust me with their high value homes and beloved pets — a responsibility I take very seriously. What sets me apart? I offer compassionate, experienced care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I work full time, but during my open hours I’m fully present and committed to giving your pet the love, structure, and attention they deserve. Although I work full-time, I have flexible hours outside of my job to dedicate to your beloved pets. Whether it's a walk in the morning, playtime during the day, evening companionship, or more, I'm here to accommodate your pup's schedule. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I'm excited to provide them with the care and attention they deserve. In the client's home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved pet. My approach begins with open communication, where I discuss your pet's specific needs and routines. During visits, I ensure your pet's well-being by adhering to their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. I maintain a clean and organized space, keeping food and water bowls fresh and litter boxes clean. Moreover, I provide companionship and love, so your pet never feels lonely or stressed during your absence. Regular updates and photos are also part of my service to keep you informed and reassured that your furry family member is in good hands. Lastly, I adapt to any special requests or medical requirements your pet may have, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout my visits. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as relaxed and content as possible in their own home.
“Mario is excellent i highly recommend him. he goes the extra mile to help out making sure the dogs are comfortable and really appreciate him being so flexible with the schedule”
“Jordan is the best - so flexible & communicative. We always feel (slightly) less guilty leaving our baby with her knowing that he’s totally obsessed with her. 12/10 would recommend.”
About: I am a true animal lover at heart! I've taken care of friends and family pets my entire life. I became a dog walker part-time on the side of my full-time job back in 2017 in Southern California where I once walked 7 dogs at once! I have cared for high energy puppies all the way to older dogs with medical needs. I love all personalities and age ranges. I am a hybrid worker which allows me a flexible schedule that I can adapt to pet care routines. I love to snuggle up on the couch and look forward to the pet breaks in the day to get outside to play and walk. I am happy to work together and adapt to your pet care needs! I have had extended stays, some as long months at a time at clients' homes to care for their homes, plants, cats, and dogs. I understand the trust needed with your home and animals and hope to bring you peace of mind with my stay and lots of pet photos!
“Amanda was great with Ana, my high-energy rescue, and managed to tire her out during a long school day for me! Very caring and kind! Was accommodating during our meet and greet and extremely attentive to Ana. Loved all the updates and ease of communication. Ana is definitely excited for her next walk with Amanda”
About: I have 3 dogs from ages 1 to 13, so I’m experienced with everything from puppy training to senior care—every dog gets personalized love . Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. As the owner of Daisy Pet Spa, I spend my days caring for dogs and making their comfort and well-being my priority. At home, I also have three dogs of my own, so my daily routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of one-on-one attention. I only take on a manageable number of bookings so every pet receives the time, patience, and personalized attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they have a safe space to relax. I treat every pet like one of my own and respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind.
“Tracy was amazing when she first came home to acquaint herself with our dog Alex. They both got along well and she was confident that she would be able to take Alex for a walk. She arrived promptly on the day of the walk and kept sending us messages and photos of Alex during her entire visit. Alex looked very comfortable and happy with her. We are very pleased with Tracy and will continue to hire her in the future. Also, we would recommend her to our friends as well.”
About: I’ve had pets most of my life, I love animals and being outdoors. I’ve also rescued a few animals and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets before. I have a open schedule so wether it’s just checking or going for walks you can be sure your pet will revive the same care as my own. In general I keep them safe especially when it comes to my friends or clients. I make sure they are feed, watered, exercised, played with and most importantly they are loved.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, but most of my family had dogs, so I have always been around them. This love for animals also got me into the veterinary field, which I have 6 years experience in. I have years of experience walking, handling, and playing with dogs and now have the experience to give oral medications or injections if needed. I currently don’t have any dogs, but I do have 2 cats. During my day I always make sure I wake up early enough to feed them and clean the litter box. After coming home from work, I feed them dinner and spend some time brushing and playing with them. I then clean the litter box before going to bed and repeat the next day. In my home, I have installed screen doors on the entry doors to prevent my cats from escaping but so they also can see the outside activity. I have socket covers to prevent them from playing in it and make sure to cover all wires so they don’t think they are toys.
“I feel very lucky to have discovered Leah. She came for a meet and greet and I saw immediately her love of dogs and her devotion to her business. My dog is still getting used to being by herself. Leah was wonderful with keeping in touch with me to tell me how she was doing. I appreciated the pictures and she even sent a video. I'll be booking Leah again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nelsonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Nelsonville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Nelsonville.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nelsonville. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
